While I don’t think that’s necessarily true, the Jays do have a lot of hitters who could go yard at any time. When it comes to a lineup full of hitters who have a lot of home run potential, it’s a huge game-changer that can be employed at any time.

It’s almost like the Blue Jays have taken the mojo out of the sails of the Boston Red Sox, who up until this season had a lineup of hitters with a tonne of pop in their bats.

Aside from one run walked in by Mark Buehrle, the Jays scored 6 out of 7 runs in last night’s victory over the White Sox via the home run. All of Chicago’s runs were thanks to the long ball, courtesy of Mark Kotsay, Alex Rios, and A.J. Pierzynski.

With last night’s win, the Blue Jays are now 11-4 on the road and are riding a six-game win streak. If they keep this up, I hope they never come home!

Ian has been writing about the Toronto Blue Jays since 2007. He enjoyed the tail-end of the Roy Halladay era and vividly remembers the Alex Rodriguez "mine" incident. He'll also retell the story of Game 5 of the ALDS to his kids for the next 20 years.
